Snow Angels

I don’t have e.s.p. I’m not one of those people who always figures out the twist ending. I like to be surprised. But in the case of Snow Angels, in my mind, I predicted EXACTLY what would happen by the mid-point, and I sat around impatiently for an hour waiting for it. The movie itself tells you what happens at the end in the first ten minutes. So I found this very frustrating. The acting by Kate Beckensale, Sam Rockwell, and the kids is all up to par and solid. But the plot and pace! Ugh. I could’ve sat there and poked myself with a tack for two hours and gotten the same emotional result.
